About CLT250

Charlotte's 250th anniversary (CLT250) is a time to recognize our history, commemorate our spirit of independence and celebrate our future and continued growth.

CLT250, presented by Atrium Health, will run from July 2018 through May 2019.

Recognizing the past - Over the course of the year, we will look back at the people, ideas and events that have had a meaningful impact on our city and share inspirational stories of how our independence, ingenuity and resiliency have made us the strong and innovative community we are today.

Understanding the present - We will celebrate our city's energy, growth and success while better understanding the real challenges we have yet to solve. Collaboration and compassion have been a constant thread in our history and will play a role in creating meaningful opportunity for all of our citizens.

Imagining the future - Most important, CLT250 will be about looking ahead at who and what we want to be as a city, unfolding an exciting, inclusive and equitable future for all who call Charlotte home.
